"So, are you going to obediently follow this envoy, or should I break your limbs first and then take you away?"

From Xia Yong's face, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, and these words demonstrated his extreme confidence. At least to the onlookers, he seemed qualified to say such things.

"Don't even think about using some methods to escape again, it's useless!"

Seeing Yun Xiao remain silent, Xia Yong spoke again. This time, after his words, he directly pointed to a black spot in the sky. Besides Yun Xiao and Xu Huang, the onlookers were all puzzled as to what he was talking about.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons Xia Yong didn't want Xu Huang to die at Yun Xiao's hands. After all, the scene of Yun Xiao escaping with Thunder Wings that day had been replaying in his mind.

He was truly afraid that, after months without seeing each other, this young man might once again use the Flying Technique to escape from his presence. Although his strength surpassed that of the Flying Beast Pulse Demon in the sky, he couldn't command it and needed Xu Huang's cooperation.

Following Xia Yong's finger, Yun Xiao also looked up at the sky, his expression growing even grimmer. This was indeed his greatest trump card for escape, but it was obviously blocked in front of these two who knew the inside story.

Don't think that after refining the Thunder King's Heart, Yun Xiao's Thunder Dragon's Wings received significant enhancement. However, with his cultivation at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm, his flying speed and maneuverability were no match for a true Flying Beast Pulse Demon.

"It seems you won't obediently surrender!"

The other party's silence finally exhausted Xia Yong's patience. Hearing a soft voice escape his lips, his figure appeared abruptly before Yun Xiao in a bizarre manner.

Bang!

Such an extremely ghostly movement technique, combined with Xia Yong's formidable attack, caught Yun Xiao somewhat off guard. All he could do was raise his arms in front of his chest, taking that strike head-on.

A loud noise rang out, and then everyone saw a black figure fly backward, and they couldn't help but exclaim. The direction Yun Xiao was flying toward didn't seem promising.

Behind Yun Xiao was the Silver Electric Light Screen that enveloped the entire Thunder King Valley. If someone touched it, they were likely to be instantly blasted into nothingness.

"Not good!"

Yun Xiao undoubtedly realized this as well, but Xia Yong's strike was overwhelmingly powerful. Even though his physical strength was comparable to an Eighth Rank Low Level, he couldn't control his body in time, causing his back to slam into the Thunder and Light Screen.

Hiss! Hiss!

However, the imagined explosive destruction didn't occur. Yun Xiao, making contact with the Thunder and Light Screen, had his body briefly flicker with silver light before sliding off the screen and landing in a clearing before it.

"Hmm?"

Under the extremely astonished gazes of everyone, Yun Xiao suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation. Then, at this critical moment, he closed his eyes as if sensing something obscure.

"Could it possibly be... this way?"

A moment later, Yun Xiao opened his eyes. At this instant, the deep-seated unease and panic in his heart vanished, replaced by absolute confidence. It seemed even the Special Envoy Xia Yong from the Headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm was no longer a concern for him.

"Huh? Haven't seen you for months, and your physical strength has increased significantly. Seems like you've obtained some treasures in this Thunder King Valley?"

Seeing Yun Xiao, who was knocked back, unscathed, a strange glint appeared in Xia Yong's eyes, and the greed in his heart grew even stronger.

Since he came to this Thunder King Valley, Xia Yong naturally made it a point to gather some information. Although he arrived late, he knew there might be treasures left behind by Heavenly Rank experts within the valley.

Now it seemed Yun Xiao was the biggest winner, and for Xia Yong, this was a win-win situation. He could retrieve Yun Xiao's Meridian Spirit and obtain the treasures from the Thunder King Valley. Why wouldn't he be happy about it?

"Special Envoy Xia Yong, I advise you to leave if you wish to live. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Just as everyone was recovering from the anomaly of the Thunder and Light Screen, thinking Yun Xiao still couldn't escape Xia Yong's clutches, this black-robed youth spoke these words, leaving everyone momentarily dumbfounded.

"What… did you say?"

Even Xia Yong, a powerhouse at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, felt as if he had misheard, wondering what gave a mere kid at the Peak of Qi Seeking Realm the audacity to make such a statement. Was he out of his mind?

"I said if you dare to strike at me again, your life might be in jeopardy!"

Seeing that the other party didn't hear clearly, Yun Xiao could only repeat helplessly. As these words were spoken, the faces of the onlookers couldn't help but become even more colorful. Had this boy been frightened senseless by Xia Yong? To actually utter such foolish words.

The attack Xia Yong unleashed earlier was clearly sensed by everyone. Even if Yun Xiao's physical strength was formidable and he didn't suffer severe internal injuries, escaping was undeniably extremely difficult, let alone turning the tables.

In such a situation, Yun Xiao was still blissfully unaware, boldly declaring that the opponent's life would be at risk. While this left everyone puzzled, it also made them feel disdain and ridicule toward the young man.

Only a small number of people believed Yun Xiao was trying to provoke Xia Yong with such words, hoping to make his attack less stable, thereby giving perhaps a slim chance of survival. However, the likelihood of such an opportunity arising was less than one in ten thousand.

"Hmph, I want to see how you take away my life, Xia Yong?"

One must admit that Yun Xiao's ability to attract hatred was indeed first-rate, making Xia Yong, who was originally full of confidence, unconsciously showed a gloomy face and sneered. Then, a thick Meridian Qi emerged from his body, causing many nearby cultivators to involuntarily take several steps back.

It's because most of the cultivators present were only at the Qi Seeking Realm. The aura of a Peak Seeking Origin Realm expert, even if just a hint, was something they could hardly bear, so it's better not to stay too close.

"Sigh, since you're so stubborn, then I won't be polite anymore!"

Seeing that Xia Yong didn't pay the slightest attention to his words, Yun Xiao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. Then he reached to his waist, and four identical iron tokens appeared in his palm.

"It's the Thunder King Token!"

Some sharp-eyed cultivators recognized the essence of those four iron tokens at first glance, wondering how Yun Xiao managed to acquire all four Thunder King Tokens in the Thunder King Main Hall if he didn't have some unknown means. Those who entered the Thunder King Hall weren't people to be trifled with.

What everyone didn't know was why Yun Xiao was wielding the Thunder King Token again after the Thunder King Main Hall had already been opened. Was he trying to reopen Thunder King Valley and enter it to avoid the attacks of the Peak Seeking Origin Realm expert?

Perhaps only an Array Master like Zhong Dao, who is at the low-level Earth Rank, could sense an unusual fluctuation at this moment. It seemed as though, after Yun Xiao took out the four Thunder King Tokens, the light screen enveloping Thunder King Valley trembled slightly, as if it was being led by something.

"Impossible?"

As a low-level Earth Rank Array Master, Zhong Dao, although not as proficient in array formation as Yun Xiao, had a certain level of insight. Sensing the fluctuations coming from the sky above Thunder King Valley, an idea he couldn't believe surged in his mind.

Earlier, Yun Xiao had set up a Four Symbols Locking Thunder Array using Thunder Wood, which had already left Zhong Dao in awe. And now, what he was thinking was even more inconceivable, something that had never existed in his imagination before.

"Special Envoy Xia Yong, choosing to make your move in this place, I must say, your luck is indeed quite unfortunate!"

Yun Xiao, who wielded the four Thunder King Tokens, uttered a sigh of lamentation, appearing to contain a special meaning. However, other than Zhong Dao, the low-level Earth Rank Array Master, nobody knew what this meant.

"Playing tricks!"

The Peak Seeking Origin Realm's Xia Yong naturally wouldn't be frightened by a strange sentence from Yun Xiao. Seeing his figure move, he was already less than a foot away from Yun Xiao. Then, with a swipe of his right hand, a golden light suddenly shot out from him, rapidly attacking Yun Xiao with fury.

"It's a Meridian Spirit!"

Those with sharp eyesight recognized at once that this was a Meridian Spirit, its entire body glowing with golden light, appearing to be a cat-shaped Meridian Spirit with claws bared and claws.

This type of Meridian Spirit was undoubtedly known for its speed, and in an instant, it was already in front of Yun Xiao. The light from its golden claws shimmered with a hint of fatal danger.

"Hmph, you have a Meridian Spirit, do you think I don't?"

Since certain methods require time to be activated, Yun Xiao didn't use his own body to fight against the golden cat-shaped Meridian Spirit. Instead, he extended his right hand, and another golden light emerged from his body, which was none other than the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu.

Back on Yulei Mountain, during the first confrontation with Xia Yong, Yun Xiao leveraged the power of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu to break through to the Early Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm and ultimately escaped death.

And at this moment, the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, whose body has also reached the Eighth Rank Low Level, is equivalent to a human cultivator at the Early or Middle Stage of the Seeking Origin Realm.

With the abilities of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, dealing with an Eighth Rank Middle Stage Meridian Spirit doesn't seem too difficult. At least Yun Xiao was very confident about it, allowing him to focus on some special techniques calmly.
